For the past year, the Eyre's have offered a new perspective on Thankfulness in their first podcast of each month--and extended a fresh challenge for writing in gratitude journals that month.  This year, starting in this Thanksgiving month, they take an even deeper dive into "Gratitude-the-synonym-for Happiness" and have arranged for podcast listeners to get Daily Thanks, The Year-Round Gratitude Journal for 40% off (Author price) by going to Familius.com/Eyre and scrolling down to Daily Thanks.

(Shawni, middle, as a child in London) On today's show, Richard and Linda interview their daughter Shawni, well-known blogger (71toes.com) and podcaster (In the Arena with the Eyre Sisters) about her life, her family, and the motivation behind her ongoing work to help and improve parenting and families. Briefly covering Shawni's life from childhood through her education, her mission, and her own marriage and family, the conversation stems into encouragement for all parents.

Shawni Eyre Pothier: A Close-Up

The Eyres are in Laguna Beach today and In this new episode they continue their series on "3-letter lessons" and focus on OBS or Observe. Really seeing, truly noticing, and the effort to be acutely aware is the key to all learning and all becoming. Jesus taught us to "watch and pray" and the better we get at observing the more we will have of gratitude, calmness, love, beauty, peace, perspective, inspiration, and joy.

3-Letter Lesson #36: OBS

The Eyres cast today from the South of Italy, the "boot" as it is called, where Richard is playing in an international senior tennis tournament. They are traveling with their son Tal, featured on last week's podcast with his new book DAD MODE, and his Swiss wife Anita who is a noted personal coach.  Tal and Anita tell "their story" which includes a year long "humanitarian honeymoon." See more at TalEyre.com and AnitaJoosEyre.com.

WHAT'S YOUR STORY?

In this new episode, Richard and Linda interview their son Talmadge about his new book DAD MODE. Tal, a Master of Positive Psychology from U. Penn, and a former college basketball star who now lives in Switzerland with his family, talks about the universal need of Dads to have stronger personal connections with their children.  DAD MODE will be published for Father's Day but is available now for pre-order on Amazon.

DAD MODE!

Linda and Richard get personal on today's show, and talk about what each of their adult children are doing to strengthen and encourage families. Perhaps the permissible form of pride is the kind we all have for our kids, and the Eyres, while acknowledging that everyone has problems, let it rip about their pride in each of their progeny, and give us websites to follow each of them in the family-work they are doing.
